The fractional metric dimension of permutation graphs

Let G =(V(G), E(G)) be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). For two distinct vertices x and y of a graph G, let RG{x, y} denote the set of vertices z such that the distance from x to z is not equa l to the distance from y to z in G. For a function g defined on V(G) and for U■V(G), let g(U) =∑s∈Ug(s). A real-valued function g : V(G) → [0, 1] is a resolving function of G if g(RG{x, y}) ≥ 1 for any two distinct vertices x, y ∈ V(G). The fractional metric dimension dimf(G)of a graph G is min{g(V(G)) : g is a resolving function of G}. Let G1 and G2 be disjoint copies of a graph G, and let σ : V(G1) → V(G2) be a bijection. Then, a permutation graph Gσ =(V, E) has the vertex set V = V(G1) ∪ V(G2) and the edge set E = E(G1) ∪ E(G2) ∪ {uv | v = σ(u)}. First,we determine dimf(T) for any tree T. We show that 1 dimf(Gσ) ≤1/2(|V(G)| + |S(G)|) for any connected graph G of order at least 3, where S(G) denotes the set of support vertices of G. We also show that, for any ε 0, there exists a permutation graph Gσ such that dimf(Gσ)- 1 ε. We give examples showing that neither is there a function h1 such that dimf(G) h1(dimf(Gσ)) for all pairs(G, σ), nor is there a function h2 such that h2(dimf(G)) dimf(Gσ) for all pairs(G, σ). Furthermore,we investigate dimf(Gσ) when G is a complete k-partite graph or a cycle.     

Existence and Concentration of Bound States of a Class of Nonlinear Schrdinger Equations in R~2 with Potential Tending to Zero at Infinity

In this paper, we establish the existence and concentration of solutions of a class of nonlinear Schrdinger equation -ε2 Δuε + V(x)uε = K(x)|uε|p-2 uεeα0 |uε|γ,uε0, uε∈H 1(R2),where 2 p ∞, α0 0, 0 γ 2. When the potential function V (x) decays at infinity like (1 + |x|)-α with 0 α≤ 2 and K(x) 0 are permitted to be unbounded under some necessary restrictions, we will show that a positive H1 (R2 )-solution uε exists if it is assumed that the corresponding ground energy function G(ξ) of nonlinear Schrdinger equation-Δu + V (ξ)u = K(ξ)|u| p-2 ue α0 |u|γ has local minimum points. Furthermore, the concentration property of uε is also established as ε tends to zero.     

Randomly Orthogonal (p, f)-factorizations in Graphs

Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G) and let g and f be two integer-valued functions defined on V(G) such that 2k-1≤g(x) ≤ f(x) for all x ∈ V(G). Let H be a subgraph of G with mk edges . In this paper it is proved that every (mg m - 1,mf- m 1)-graph G has (g, f)-factorizations randomly κ-orthogonal to H and shown that the result is best possible.     

Super s-restricted edge-connectivity of vertex-transitive graphs

Let G be a connected graph with vertex-set V(G)and edge-set E(G).A subset F of E(G)is an s-restricted edge-cut of G if G-F is disconnected and every component of G-F has at least s vertices.Letλs(G)be the minimum size of all s-restricted edge-cuts of G andξs(G)=min{|[X,V(G)\X]|:|X|=s,G[X]is connected},where[X,V(G)\X]is the set of edges with exactly one end in X.A graph G with an s-restricted edge-cut is called super s-restricted edge-connected,in short super-λs,ifλs(G)=ξs(G)and every minimum s-restricted edge-cut of G isolates one component G[X]with|X|=s.It is proved in this paper that a connected vertex-transitive graph G with degree k5 and girth g5 is super-λs for any positive integer s with s 2g or s 10 if k=g=6.     

On the adjacent vertex-distinguishing equitable edge coloring of graphs

Let G(V, E) be a graph. A k-adjacent vertex-distinguishing equatable edge coloring of G, k-AVEEC for short, is a proper edge coloring f if (1) C(u)≠C(v) for uv ∈ E(G), where C(u) = {f(uv)|uv ∈ E}, and (2) for any i, j = 1, 2,… k, we have ||Ei| |Ej|| ≤ 1, where Ei = {e|e ∈ E(G) and f(e) = i}. χáve (G) = min{k| there exists a k-AVEEC of G} is called the adjacent vertex-distinguishing equitable edge chromatic number of G. In this paper, we obtain the χáve (G) of some special graphs and present a conjecture.     

On the spectral spread of bicyclic graphs with given girth

The spectral spread of a graph is defined to be the difference between the largest and the least eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of the graph. A graph G is said to be bicyclic, if G is connected and |E(G)| = |V(G)|+ 1. Let B(n, g) be the set of bicyclic graphs on n vertices with girth g. In this paper some properties about the least eigenvalues of graphs are given, by which the unique graph with maximal spectral spread in B(n, g) is determined.     

（g, f）-Factorizations Randomly Orthogonal to a Subgraph in Graphs

Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G) and let g and f be two integervalued functions defined on V(G) such that 2k - 2 ≤g(x)≤f(x) for all x∈V(G). Let H be a subgraph of G with mk edges. In this paper, it is proved that every (mg m-1,mf-m 1)-graph G has (g, f)-factorizations randomly k-orthogonal to H under some special conditions.     

符号混合控制问题的某些NP-完全性结果

Let G =(V, E) be a simple graph with vertex set V and edge set E. A signed mixed dominating function of G is a function f:V∪E→ {-1, 1} such that ∑_(y∈N_m(x)∪{x})f(y)≥ 1for every element x∈V∪E, where N_m(x) is the set of elements of V∪E adjacent or incident to x. The weight of f is w(f) =∑_(x∈V∪E)f(x). The signed mixed domination problem is to find a minimum-weight signed mixed dominating function of a graph. In this paper we study the computational complexity of signed mixed domination problem. We prove that the signed mixed domination problem is NP-complete for bipartite graphs, chordal graphs, even for planar bipartite graphs.     

On the elusiveness of Hamiltonian property

1. IntroductionA gash G is an ordered pair of disjoillt sets (V, E) such that E is a subset of the setof unordered pairs of V, where the sets V and E are finite. The set V is cajled the setof venices and E is called the set of edges. They are usually denoted by V(G) and E(C),respectively. An edge (x, y) is said to join the venices x and y, and is sometimes denotedby xo or ear. By our definition, a graph does not colltain any loOP, neither does it colltainmultiple edges.Other terms undef…     

赋权图的w密度和w平衡性

The notion of w-density for the graphs with positive weights on vertices and nonnegative weights on edges is introduced. A weighted graph is called w-balanced if its w-density is no less than the w-density of any subgraph of it. In this paper,a good characterization of w-balanced weighted graphs is given. Applying this characterization ,many large w-balanced weighted graphs are formed by combining smaller ones. In the case where a graph is not w-balanced,a polynomial-time algorithm to find a subgraph of maximum w-density is proposed. It is shown that the w-density theory is closely related to the study of SEW(G,w) games.     

On minimal forbidden subgraph characterizations of balanced graphs

A graph is balanced if its clique-matrix contains no edge–vertex incidence matrix of an odd chordless cycle as a submatrix. While a forbidden induced subgraph characterization of balanced graphs is known, there is no such characterization by minimal forbidden induced subgraphs. In this work, we provide minimal forbidden induced subgraph characterizations of balanced graphs restricted to graphs that belong to one of the following graph classes: complements of bipartite graphs, line graphs of multigraphs, and complements of line graphs of multigraphs. These characterizations lead to linear-time recognition algorithms for balanced graphs within the same three graph classes.     

Local and variable neighborhood search for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-cardinality subgraph problem

The minimum weighted k-cardinality subgraph problem consists of finding a connected subgraph of a given graph with exactly k edges whose sum of weights is minimum. For this NP-hard combinatorial problem, only constructive types of heuristics have been suggested in the literature. In this paper we propose a new heuristic based on variable neighborhood search metaheuristic rules. This procedure uses a new local search developed by us. Extensive numerical results that include graphs with up to 5,000 vertices are reported. It appears that VNS outperforms all previous methods.     

Equimatchable claw-free graphs

A graph is equimatchable if all of its maximal matchings have the same size. A graph is claw-free if it does not have a claw as an induced subgraph. In this paper, we provide the first characterization of claw-free equimatchable graphs by identifying the equimatchable claw-free graph families. This characterization implies an efficient recognition algorithm.     

Balanced group-labeled graphs

A group-labeled graph is a graph whose vertices and edges have been assigned labels from some abelian group. The weight of a subgraph of a group-labeled graph is the sum of the labels of the vertices and edges in the subgraph. A group-labeled graph is said to be balanced if the weight of every cycle in the graph is zero. We give a characterization of balanced group-labeled graphs that generalizes the known characterizations of balanced signed graphs and consistent marked graphs. We count the number of distinct balanced labellings of a graph by a finite abelian group $\Gamma$ and show that this number depends only on the order of $\Gamma$ and not its structure. We show that all balanced labellings of a graph can be obtained from the all-zero labeling using simple operations. Finally, we give a new constructive characterization of consistent marked graphs and markable graphs, that is, graphs that have a consistent marking with at least one negative vertex.     

Forbidden subgraphs and the Kőnig property

A graph has the Kőnig property if its matching number equals its transversal number. Lovász proved a characterization of graphs having the Kőnig property by forbidden subgraphs, restricted to graphs with a perfect matching. Korach, Nguyen, and Peis proposed an extension of Lovászʼs result to a characterization of all graphs having the Kőnig property in terms of forbidden configurations (certain arrangements of a subgraph and a maximum matching). In this work, we prove a characterization of graphs having the Kőnig property in terms of forbidden subgraphs which is a strengthened version of the characterization by Korach et al. As a consequence of our characterization of graphs with the Kőnig property, we prove a forbidden subgraph characterization for the class of edge-perfect graphs.     

On minimal forbidden subgraph characterizations of balanced graphs

A {0, 1}-matrix is balanced if it contains no square submatrix of odd order with exactly two 1's per row and per column. Balanced matrices lead to ideal formulations for both set packing and set covering problems. Balanced graphs are those graphs whose clique-vertex incidence matrix is balanced.While a forbidden induced subgraph characterization of balanced graphs is known, there is no such characterization by minimal forbidden induced subgraphs. In this work we provide minimal forbidden induced subgraph characterizations of balanced graphs restricted to some graph classes which also lead to polynomial time or even linear time recognition algorithms within the corresponding subclasses.     

On heavy paths in 2-connected weighted graphs

A weighted graph is a graph in which every edge is assigned a non-negative real number. In a weighted graph, the weight of a path is the sum of the weights of its edges, and the weighed degree of a vertex is the sum of the weights of the edges incident with it. In this paper we give three weighted degree conditions for the existence of heavy or Hamilton paths with one or two given end-vertices in 2-connected weighted graphs.     

The new upper bounds on the spectral radius of weighted graphs

Let us consider weighted graphs, where the weights of the edges are positive definite matrices. The eigenvalues of a weighted graph are the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix and the spectral radius of a weighted graph is also the spectral radius of its adjacency matrix. In this paper, we obtain two upper bounds for the spectral radius of weighted graphs and compare with a known upper bound. We also characterize graphs for which the upper bounds are attained.
